ABSTRACT:
A drum brake shoe hold down retainer is formed as a one piece device with a main body having barbs which grip both sides of the shoe backing plate. The upper end of the body is formed with radially outwardly extending legs which are reversely bent to resiliently engage the shoe web. The legs provide spring forces holding the shoe in position and have small dimple-like buttons to help minimize friction between the shoe and the retainer during brake apply. The other end of the retainer is formed with a closed end to minimize entry of water through the backing plate.
